Passionate Declaration

Psalm 84 starts out with a passionate declaration from the psalmist about his fervent desire for God and to be in His presence. I particularly like verse 2 because of the example it puts before us of a deep, strong and love-filled relationship with God.

"My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God."

How would you describe your relationship with God? Is it your desire to be in God's presence? How might you "sing for joy to the living God" this weekend? Tami

Describing my relationship with God is sweet,but needs a great improvement!!
Oh that my desire for God's presence were as such as described in this Psalms!!
May I sing for joy to the living God throughout every hour of this weekend in my heart and with my voice!!

What a beautiful chapter!

"No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." vs.11b

I Love verse 2 as well. It reminds me of King David when he said “I was glad when they said let us go into the house of the Lord.” I love Gods Holy Word and to be in His House. I spend quality time reading and praying each day and to continually think on His Name through out the day. Our God is an awesome loving forgiving caring and compassionate God and has all power to watch over His people and world.

PS I use to get your emails every day when you were with Dr. Woodrow Koll on Back to the Bible, y’all were a great team and I miss the program after he retired.
